Topic: Map Setup/Rotation

[dj]

The way I have the server set up, the maps are separated into "catagories":

• Maps that can be set by an admin (maplist.txt) - This includes all maps on the server.  Maps in this category that are not listed in one of the other categories can only be played if an admin sets the map.
• Voteable maps (votemaplist.txt) - Maps in this list are available as voting options through the end of map vote, rockthevote, and an admin random map vote.
• Map Cycle (mapcycle.txt) - Maps in this list are played when the end of map vote fails.

The idea behind this is to have the extremely popular maps in the Map Cycle, while keeping good maps that may be less popular available for play through voting.  Please leave your suggestions for what maps should be in what categories.  I'm working on a php script that will list the maps in each category.

I give high props to the volenteers and the admins that run the killazinc site. I have enjoyed playing on this server now for about a year. The first game I ever played on line is Counterstrike. Thanks to my son Vague. I am addicted!!! I do enjoy playing CSS with all you jerks as schneedy would say. Great group of people!!

But, I want to see more of the maps "OLD" & "NEW". All of these new ones are excellent and we do not get to play them much? Is there a way to put in a mix of older maps and new maps in the rotation? I do play the killazinc server with them hacking bots  to and it is harder to see other maps. Always the de nuke, italy and office.

The server gods (AKA, the admins) change up the rotation on occasion, but I don't know how often that is.
I still miss Desert Atrocity! Sorry, I  have to say it...

If there's only a few people on the server, map voting doesn't take place, and the map rotation includes only the most popular stock maps.  Besides ourselves, most players are less likely to join a server with only a few players and a custom map.  So if it's you and the bots, you'll be playing the stock maps.

I thought you could RTV if it was just you and the bots

map cycle (and therefore also in voteable)

Italy
Dust2
Losttemple2_beta
gallery
cefalu

I feel like there are a lot of older maps that I don't remember anymore, like the nighthawk one (stealth plane?)
Anyway, it would be easier to have a list of all the maps we've ever played so that we can pick and choose and maybe play if we can't remember?

uhh... There's always at least 20 maps on the voting list...

As far as the list, look at the stats pages.

I liked Nordic Chapel

    for tf2 is convoy still in the rotation?

[STEALTHDUKE]

I like all the maps the way you have it set up now. I quess I would like to play many of the other maps that I have not seen yet.

One map comes to mind is the Museum? That was cool. The new dullin? Like that to. I didn't know how the map options worked. Thanks.

Again, keep up the good work!!!

I was playing CSS yesterday and you can rock the vote (RTV) to other maps while playing the bots only.

I was able to go to maps that I have not seen in a while and I got to one map I never played before but it took about 5 mins. to download the map. 

Cool Maps. Thanks DAWG.

[DAwG]

prolly be a good way to download all the new maps before hand too

[jschnider]

new map  pretty cool  its called de_clubdome_b2   
alot like clubmetal  but  a little better and loads fast

i have a suggestion......that might be a very good idea.  there is a mod out for mani i believe that lets players vote on a good to bad scale on maps when they load.  this would allow the administrator to know what maps people like and dislike thus they can be removed.  you guys have a ton of custom maps and i for one dont like some of them so i would hit "3" or whatever it was to say "this sucks" lol, or 1 to say it kicks arse.

id like to see more cpl maps in rotation more often.....and classic maps.  it will get more people playing in the server if these maps pop up and will get the server more active.

it's on some servers and the window says "Rate this map:"
1. great
2. so-so
3. terrible
tally: %
